A big failure, is more like it. Aside from the Shakra-esque "Livin' A Lie," this CD is about as appealing as moldy fruit. One good song and a string of lackluster fillers is not enough to save this one from the hard rock scrap heap. Unless you absolutely have to own every melodic hard rock album ever released, I would suggest that if you find this piece in your area, get rid of it.

'groovy' is an ok song, in 1996 was this a nice cd cos lots of alternative stuff was released and this was kinda melodic in places. the song 'o.p.m' starts kinda cool.

Good album but my favorite thing on this album is the cover. A real anti-grunge cover and anti-alternative cover. Coollllllll!!!!

This one features a moment or two, but is a bit of a mess overall. To describe their sound I'd ask you to picture Affair... if they really weren't that good. No offence to these guys - they can play their instruments and this is good heavy rock, with a couple of good songs, but there appears to be no level of consistency. Still, this is okay.

In agreement with Geoff about the music direction of the band,quite difficult to define..it has Hard Rock moments obviously and for me some prog influences too ("Groovy" & "O.P.M." are good examples)...the rest of highlights are "Fly" ,"Sweet Love" catchy chorus,"Last Time" for me the best one of the album,"Ride,Baby, Ride" excellent & the Donna Summer's cover "Hot Stuff" is quite good...the songs that i mentioned as kinda prog reminded me a bit of Dream Theater and the voice of Bernard Wolff's James Labrie alike in those 2 tracks......the album...interesting and good!.93/100

Kinda hit mand miss.They can write a tune but very little consistency in the musical direction. Groove, prg , some rock. Too much of it all. 6/10
